Art After Hours: Boppers vs. Beatniks
Pick a side.
Overview
For one decade, the '50s sure saw a seriously impressive amount of social shenanigans happen. With TVs popping up in nearly every living room, disillusioned youth (with their berets and black turtleneck ensembles) creating Kerouac's iconic Beat generation and boppers swinging their way through rock 'n' roll diners, it's an era to make anyone a little nostalgic.
If taking a trip down memory lane sounds right up your alley, then the Art Gallery of NSW's 'Boppers vs. Beatniks' party has got you covered. In celebration of their current exhibition Pop to popism, Art after Hours sees the gallery transformed for an evening of hip-swinging, ol' fashioned fun.
Choose your side and dress to impress. Those in costume will go in the running for some sweet prizes thanks to event sponsor UNIQLO. Topped off with guest speakers dishing out their top '50s style tips, and even a rockabilly cover band, you'd be a nerd not to get yourself down to this hootenanny.
